    IGN has gathered up and presented a collection of ten crazy quotes from the biggest men in the game industry. As a pretaste, take a look at no. 10, which is Peter Moore from Microsoft talking about a lucid dream:

    At the Electronics Entertainment Expo 2005, Microsoft's head of Interactive Entertainment Business, Peter Moore, got more than a little carried away with his promise of high-definition games. The former SEGA man praised Xbox 360 and stated: "Next generation games will combine unprecedented audio and visual experiences to create worlds that are beyond real and they'll deliver storylines and gameplay so compelling that it will feel like living a lucid dream. The result is a state where you achieve the perfect mind-body equilibrium as you forget your physical surroundings and you become completely immersed in the game itself; this controller becomes an extension of your body, it becomes the gateway to the Zen of gaming." That's deep stuff, Peter.

    Right. And then the Force was strong in them and they lived happile ever after. Read more at IGN.

    Hilarious but..
    If these are the leaders of the Industry then no wonder we have crappy games. I can't blame them totally. If Players were a little more choosey and demanding we'd get better games.

    They should have included some from Herve Caen... famous last words-style.
